Tyrone Brown, 21, was convicted of the first-degree murder of Rodney Pridget on Dec. 19, 2011. Prosecutors said Pridget was followed through the mall and shot six times just after leaving the building.

Prosecutors said Brown carried out the killing, which was ordered by the Black Guerilla Family gang.

A jury convicted two others, William Ward III and Frank Theodore Williams, of first-degree murder for their part in assisting and directing Brown in committing the murder. Each was sentenced in October to life without the possibility of parole.

Brown faces the maximum sentence of life without parole. Sentencing is scheduled to take place before Judge Robert E. Cahill on May 7.
